487: Golgari in the Play Booster Era | Archetype Series: Part 2

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we’ve got part three of the Wedding Paternity Chronicles. Today is another episode from the Archetype Architecture series featuring Golgari. We look at what the archetype does historically, and why it’s been more or less successful in certain sets in the play booster era. Then we explore what these trends can teach us about predicting this archetype’s strength in future sets.🎙️ What You’ll Get in This Episode:Limited Magic Hot TakesBen Trying to Outsmart the DraftFuture Collabs?!And more!Timestamps0:00 Intros & Housekeeping03:02 An Overview of the Color Pair10:42 The Graveyard13:55 Counters On Creatures16:39 When is the Archetype Good?18:10 When is the Archetype Bad? 21:13 The Differences Between the Colors25:56 Formats with Strong Golgari Synergies32:24 Formats with Weak Golgari Synergies40:42 Archetype Trends46:55 Removal50:19 Splashing for Power52:50 Archetype Takeaways56:26 What Happened in to Witherbloom?!This episode is sponsored by Square.
